Did someone say #bosslady? Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) is the CEO of L-Corp, a company she took over from her brother Lex, the self-proclaimed greatest criminal mind. When their agendas align, Lena is a staunch ally of Supergirl and her friends; independently, she considers Kara Danvers (Supergirl’s alter ego) a dear friend.

Lena’s outfits on The CW’s Supergirl reflect her businesslike attitude, revolving around dressy blouses, pencil skirts, and blazers. This tutorial shows you how to recreate two of her more formal outfits: one consisting of a blazer set, buttoned-down blouse, and vest; and one that incorporates a more adventurous sheer lace top that reminds me of one of Katie McGrath’s more medieval roles.

Madara Uchiha was one of the founders of Konohagakure. Madara saved and trained Obito Uchiha, and entrusted the latter with his plans and his name upon his eventual death, leading to Obito using the name Madara throughout much of his life. Madara wears a cowl neck robe and shinobi pants, with red samurai armor over top. Finding red armor can be difficult, so using red paint over light colored armor can help you achieve the same look.

Li Lan, played by Pei-jia Huang, accepts a proposal of being a ghost bride to help with family debt. She needs to solve the mystery surrounding the death of a wealthy family’s arrogant son, essentially her ghost spouse, if she wants out of the proposal without gaining back the debt. Going in between the living world and the world of the dead, Li Lan unwillingly partners with the selfish Heavenly Guard Er Lang  to accomplishment her goal. The duo learn from each other and discover the values of life in The Ghost Bride.

In the summertime, Emily (voiced by Jennifer Martini) visits her grandmother’s home near the forest where Little Bear and his anthropomorphic animal friends live. There, they have a slew of adventures together, whether they’re going to the moon or contemplating the existence of mermaids. (“That’s the thing about mermaids … you never can tell!”) In the show, Emily is apparently seven years old, and dresses like a young girl from the early twentieth century. Recreating her outfit in contemporary adult women’s clothes can be, as Little Bear would say, “Iiiinteresting.”

In season 3 of Westworld, Caleb Nichols (played by Aaron Paul) joins up with Dolores after he helps her when she is injured.  Dolores shows Caleb the extent to which his life is controlled and his fate determined by others in order to recruit him to her cause.  As a veteran, Caleb suffers with some amount of PTSD and survivor’s guilt.  When season 3 begins, Caleb works construction with a robot companion, while also completing criminal acts after hours for additional cash.  Whether dressed for work, criminal activity, or infiltrating a 1%ers party, Caleb typically wears clothing that is dark grey or black.  Prior to his recruitment by Dolores, Caleb wears coveralls with orange pocket flaps to his construction job.

In Euphoria, Gia Bennet played Storm Reid is Rue’s little sister. Her character has not developed very much as of yet. Gia was the one who found Rue when She overdosed and definitely has trauma around that. As the year goes on and Gia is getting older she begins hanging out with other kids who do drugs. Rue loses her and then later catches her smoking pot at the festival. Gia dresses a lot like her big sister Rue. Oversized tees and skinny jeans are part of her casual attire.

Emmy (voiced by Andrea Libman) is the no-nonsense older sibling in Dragon Tales. She is usually the one to notice when something is wrong as well as the one to keep a calm head and look for a solution. Some might call her bossy. But that’s just what happens when you and your little brother spend your free time in a mystical land full of talking dragons and adventure!

Dressing up as Emmy is fairly easy. You’ll need a long brown wig with bangs. Emmy wears her hair back in a pony tail tied with an elastic tie that is the same red as her t-shirt. A denim jumper dress makes up the rest of her costume in addition to white socks and red high tops. You can round out the costume with a plush dragon and a dragon scale necklace like the one Emmy and Max use to jump between worlds.

Wolf (played by Derek Wilson) is a resistance soldier from the future in Hulu’s Future Man.  Wolf is a battle hardened and dedicated soldier in Tiger’s battalion. He works with Tiger and Josh Futterman in an attempt to thwart the genetically modified Biotics and stop the Biotic Wars from becoming reality. Wolf has several facial scars and eventually chooses a mullet hairstyle.
